4.0 out of 5 stars Amy and Raines story..., Oct 18 2002

By	Tanya L. Schaub "TSchlaack" (Livermore, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dream River (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great follow up book to Lonesome River. In this story after 8 years of waiting Raine finally comes back to Amy. The problem is that as she seems to have spent a lifetime waiting for him he seems to be apathetic to her now. And then there is the woman that he is escorting along to the Arkansas territory who is just a little to "lady like" and basically the opposite of Amy. But, do what she may Amy can't seem to shake her longing for Raine. Then things turn and Raine asks her to accompany him on the trek west and things finally start to go her way. There is a lot of traveling, a few fights, a few changes in personalities of the main characters but overall a good story. I am now off to find the third book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the trilogy, Jul 27 2002

By	KeatherThompson "keatherthompson84" (Enfield, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dream River (Mass Market Paperback)

The Wabash trilogy is the best frontier romance you'll ever read. Years after reading this book for the first time, I am still haunted by their love story. It was wonderful to find out how Raine and Amy turn out. Don't miss out. This is Dorothy Garlock's best work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent... the best of this trilogy!!, Mar 10 2002

By	Jody L. Schoth (Katy, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dream River (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved Liberty and Farr in the first of this trilogy - Lonesome River. However, it ended without resolution of Amy and Rain together and in love. This book will put the two together, and sure there was nothing keeping the two apart (like the other reviewer stated), except for a frenchman determined to have Amy for himself and several other dangerous encounters throughout the story.

The story begins eight years later from the first in this trilogy... with Liberty and Farr in complete happiness and with a growing family.... only Farr longs for a homestead that isn't quite as crowded as the booming town enclosing them. Liberty senses Farr's edginess... and when Rain returns to the homestead, speaking of the virtually untouched land beyond the mountains, Liberty encourages the family to relocate. Rain is excited that his extended family is anxious to move to the land he longs for, bringing the woman he craves along with them... as Amy has changed a lot and Rain's unsure of her feelings towards him... and still seems to make her so darn mad at him everytime they speak.

Rain volunteers to take a woman to her fiance, on his way to the new land. For this reason, he must leave earlier than Farr and Liberty... but he manages to convince them that he needs Amy to come along... "for appearances sake"... while he and a rough riverman escort the spoiled and helpless woman. Amy agrees to go along, mostly because the woman's eyes are on Rain.... while the rough riverman keeps his on the spoiled little rich girl.

Villans Hull Dexter and Hammond Perry return in this story, to add constant chaos and conflict for Rain and Amy, and Eleanor and Gavin during their travels. Though Rain and Amy expressed their love shortly after their travels began, and stayed together to the end... there were numerous conflicts trying to pull them away from each other.
